KISS released “Monster” in 2012, an album that rightfully pleased their
fans a lot! So, it was about time they were coming back to Europe after
3 years and their “Sonic Boom Over Europe” tour in 2010.

It was Prague’s turn in a packed O2 Arena when at 9:15 we heard the
scream “Allright Praaaaague!!! You wanted the best, you’ve got the best!
The hottest band in the world – KISS!”. As the curtain falls we see the
“spider” on top of the stage with Kiss –like they were coming out from a
fairytale- playing “Psycho Circus” destroying the arena and every
inhibition, or suspiciousness that anyone could possibly have that
night. Without losing any time stronger than ever Kiss carry on with
“Shout It Out Loud”, and “Let Me Go Rock’n’Roll”.

Two huge
banners with the legendary Kiss Army logo are on both sides of the stage
and the four masked knights wouldn’t leave you alone with “I Love It
Loud”, “Hell Or Hallelujah” and “War Machine” where the “Demon” Simmons
spits a huge flame from his lungs! “Heaven’s On Fire” and “Deuce” are up
next with the tireless duo of Stanley and Simmons portraying their
amazing feeling for what they do. Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer take the
lead on “Shock Me” until the first chorus and the jam followed by a
fireworks effect, after the guitarist sung on “Outta This World”,
another song from “Monster”. Their last four songs before the encore is
simply devastating: “God Of Thunder” with solo, blood and Simmons flying
around while the crowd is in ecstasy. Even some of the coolest ones are
flabbergasted now! “Lick It Up” and “Love Gun” where Stanley flies over
our heads, while on “Rock And Roll All Nite” there is absolute mayhem
with Simmons and Thayer on two gigantic hydraulic platforms over the
crowd thirty meters inside their stage set, while Stanley destroys his
guitar.

The encore features “Detroit Rock City”, “I Was Made
For Loving You” and “Black Diamond” on a crescendo of fireworks where
Singer proves not only his amazing vocal abilities, but the fact that
kept the band in perfect shape throughout their latest studio albums, as
well as live shows, as well. This is a two-hour great show that doesn’t
make you regret your choice to attend. It’s worth it!

Yes,
Kiss are better than 2008, and 2010. I don’t know how they do it, and I
don’t care. They are better. They released two very good albums, they
tour, as they celebrate their 40th anniversary of a successful career
and looking ahead because the future belongs to the strong ones!
